Music Promoter As Your Selected Career

By Kevin Cox


Every human being has their own style of music. Some may like classical. Others may be into pop and jazz. While other people jam with rock. Despite the different genre of songs, you cannot argue that music usually connects people. As a result, some aspire to become a singer to express their own love of music. However, not all people are talented enough to sing and achieve the perfect pitch. No worries with that because they can still walk to that musical path by being a concert promoter.

For sure you had dreamt before on collaborating with our favorite singers. You perhaps had wished you could have some opportunities to collaborate with them. However, your talent is incomparable to them since you cannot sing nor dance as well. Unfortunately, the least you can do is just watch them afar on stage while performing a concert. And speaking of that, you might probably wonder on how concerts were made.

You think the agents are those people behind on setting up those shows? You think that the bands are the one doing all promotions so people can watch them. Well partly they did some tasks but those jobs are mainly done by music promoters. Perhaps you did not hear that profession always. Nevertheless, those individuals are in charge of promoting, booking, negotiating and many more.

Needless to say, their main job is to broadcast or advertise the concert of an artist. To do that, they have to cooperate and collaborate with the agents or the bands as well as the concert venues wherein the show is going to hold. Its job description sounds so tough and indeed it is. But with your strong passion for music and organizing skills, you can pull this off.

To begin that career, you have to choices to select. The first choice is working on the promotion companies. There are many companies out there that are established and they can allow you also to collaborate with those famous musicians.

However, it might still take some time to become a lead promoter as you have to start from the basics like giving out flyers to random people. Other than that, you also might be working with some artists you cannot tolerate with. But once you reached the top, more artists will surely come to you to do a promotion.

The other path is going to Indie Promoting. This one is very simple as all you need is finding some local band who wants to make a name, negotiating with them and then booking their first show. You are the boss in that profession. However, you also have lots of responsibilities.

Choosing the Indie Promoting path may sometimes be hard especially when the artist you work with is not making some money with his or her show. It is important to know the value of money and good business background and marketing skills are advantage. Nevertheless, you certainly have the freedom to choose who you want to work with.

Your love for songs and melodies will certainly not perish in this career. In fact, no need for college degree to attain this. So are you ready to become one now?
